Created by the European Plant Science Organization, May 18th is International Fascination of Plants Day. The seventh occurrence will be launched by plant scientists across the world under the umbrella of the European Plant Science Organisation (EPSO). Plant biologists estimate the number of plant species to be about 250,000. And so, the day draws attention to the diversity of plants in color, shape, and function within their local ecosystem. Understanding plants is a necessity in a world leaning towards more sustainable production of food, horticulture, forestry, but also nonfood goods like wood, chemicals, energy, and medicine.

Get to know the transformative potential of systems thinking and relevant tools and methods in policymaking. Society, scientists, and policymakers have to deal with wicked problems and complex societal needs that can be assessed and solved only if seen in a systems context. Systems thinking can inform, model and impact policymaking. This workshop will offer theoretical and practical insights into a toolbox of techniques used in system mapping and system design while being guided by different experts. Participants are asked to bring their own problems and cases to be worked on.
